Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 16-core server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The PERC H730 controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in a 2.5-inch bay layout.

Sustained workload behaviour

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap design keep the platform running through extended database, virtualisation or high-performance computing jobs. The H730 controller battery protects write cache during power events, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and management without host OS dependence.

Pre-order compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides 2U of space and that the included ready rails match your cabinet hole pattern. Confirm SAS cabling and backplane compatibility for the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Ensure network uplinks support the dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports on the X520/I350 daughter card.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the two 2.1 GHz 16-core Xeons and 256 GB DDR4 draw when the R730 runs continuously?

Dual 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are powered by redundant 750 W platinum supplies; actual draw varies with workload but the supplies are rated for continuous operation.

Which cabling and rails must I already have to install this 2U server in a standard rack?

The unit ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel; you supply the rack cabinet, PDU power cords and any SAS or SFP+ cables for storage and networking.

Will my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives and 10 GbE SFP+ modules work with the H730 controller and X520/I350 card?

Yes, the PERC H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, and the daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports compatible with standard modules.
